Thanks for the link Richard. Do you know if there there other documents/contributions for this meeting which are only available to ITU members?
The inputs from the membership will be posted on the page referenced above.
I don't see anything that looks like a proposal to do what Patrik rightly criticizes, but I may have missed something, or there may be something in the pipeline that is not yet published.
Well there is a master framework agreement (MoU?) between the DONA Foundation and the ITU: https://www.itu.int/md/S15-CL-INF-0013/en
That document does not appear to be in the public domain. Though I haven’t spent much time looking for it .
It is not easy to find. I had to ask where it is. It is here: https://www.itu.int/md/S15-CL-C-0094/en
The web page in the link above says "TSB has identified different uses of DOA for promoting and extending the benefits gained from telecommunications and ICTs, including safety, combating counterfeit devices and products and addressing environmental issues such as e- waste.”.
Yes. That resulted in a lot of discussion in the ITU Council, following which the MoU remains in force.
Something does appear to be in the pipeline
There were various proposals at WTSA to endorse DONA. But they were not accepted. I suspect (but have no evidence to that effect) that the folks that proposed that WTSA endorse DONA will submit similar proposals to SG20. But it is likely that there will be opposition to those proposals, so it is far from certain that they would be accepted.
and ITU seems to be (sort of) endorsing DOA. Can anyone on this list provide more details?
The role of the ITU Secretariat is specified in the MoU referenced above. What the role of ITU as an institution should or will be is a matter that is still being discussed, see the comments above regarding proposals submitted to WTSA and that might be submitted to SG20. Best, Richard
